Energy saving technique for cooling dominated academic building: Techno-economic analysis of its application

Adaptive cooling technique has been proposed previously, as an energy efficient strategy for a centralized HVAC system in a tropical environment. It served single or multi zone buildings by considering both the occupancy pattern (occupied and unoccupied periods) and the local weather conditions. Thi...
